JBL PRX818XLFW

Good solid low end

I had considered for a long time buying a Sub to go with the JBL PRX735 I had bought last year, that range has since been replaced with the PRX835 which included wifi eq.

This addition, was a wise one. It really has added a lot to an already great sound. We play acoustic traditional celtic music and I have been using a foot stomper. In some venues I felt I wasn't getting a great oomff from the bottom end. That has changed.

This is a big speaker. It's pretty awkward to carry. I use a Van to set up gear, I'm a professional but I guess it's size would be a problem to a musician using a car. It's easiest to have 2 people carry it.

I am looking forward to testing it out further. I am a big fan of JBL for my live sound. I've used their speakers for years. I am unlikely to try any other brand these days. I like full spectrum produced in acoustic instruments. The addition of the Sub really adds a subtlety that you actually feel as well as hear. My band complain about the extra gear to carry all the time. But after hearing this they changed their mind.

I bought the Transport cover to go with it.

It's Big... that seems to be the only downside but if you want a big sound you are going to need a big speaker. It's physics. Get over it. :-)
